Six points from a possible 15 (despite the slip of the tongue in the intro!) to start Manchester United’s season. 10 goals conceded in four games. These are two of the many stats that sum up the dire start to the 2023/24 campaign for Erik ten Hag’s team and once again we are left asking, is this a fair reflection of the team? And where the answer in previous games might have been no, perhaps this time, the answer is yes. Brighton & Hove Albion rode out the early dominance of United and then raced away after half-time. Young Hannibal scored a fantastic long-range goal to reduce the deficit, but that was about it for United’s response. On the Manchester United Weekly Podcast this week, it's time to dissect it.
